"Extra! Extra!"

Due to the huge commotion caused by Xu Fan's incident, many people in the base who usually focus solely on their difficult cultivation spontaneously organized an intelligence organization; on one hand, they closely investigated the events happening on Xu Fan's side and, on the other hand, wrote them into booklets to sell inside the base.

A booklet sells for only one point, which can be described as a bargain, so many trainees in the base couldn't resist their inner curiosity and eagerly bought the booklets.

However, there were some who scoffed at this behavior.

"Why care about someone who's bound to die? Instead of spending those points, why not buy some elixirs or divine weapons to prepare for the competition that will decide your fate in a month!"

This statement was indeed reasonable, but the instructor who made the noise received a warning from the Chief Instructor not long after making the remark.

"Xu Fan may have support from some high-ups in the base! This is deep water, be cautious with your words! Otherwise, even your team won't be able to save you!"

The instructor was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Xu Fan actually has backing from the base's leadership? Could it be that this matter isn't as simple as it seems?"

The instructor conducted a deeper investigation and upon discovering that neither the strongest Grey Wolf Team nor the Ice Phoenix Squad had commented on the matter, he became even more alarmed and hastily took up a mission at the Mission Hall to get as far away as possible.

This cowardly behavior naturally became the subject of ridicule among everyone.

However, compared to an insignificant instructor, everyone's attention was still focused on Xu Fan.

"The dueling venue is crowded with strong figures! Instructor Li Kun looks stern, and the White Tiger Team is filled with killing intent!"

"The Li, Long, and Feng families indeed dispatched strong forces! It's reported that there are at least a dozen Zhiwei Realm experts! Li Family Head Li Tiancheng personally came, vowing to kill Xu Fan!"

"The Grey Wolf Team chickened out before the fight! The White Tiger Team has been waiting for hours, but there's no trace of the Grey Wolf Team!"

These pieces of news left everyone in the base dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, many admired Xu Fan, believing he would die with honor! But now, Xu Fan apparently chickened out before the fight, leaving everyone hanging!

The so-called duel became a huge joke.

"I told you! How could someone at the peak of the Entering Dao Realm dare to go to such a certain-death place? Now Xu Fan has probably taken the opportunity to flee the base and is hiding somewhere shivering! It's ridiculous that such a coward was once admired!"

"The so-called third on the Earth List is nothing much after all!"

"No, no, although Xu Fan is cowardly, he's very cunning. He first deliberately initiated the challenge, drawing everyone's attention, even making the Li, Long, and Feng families station heavy troops outside the base, while he took the opportunity to slip away!"

Many people sneered at Xu Fan upon hearing this news.

A kid at the peak of the Entering Dao Realm managed to secure the third place on the Earth List purely by luck, which left many feeling extremely unworthy and envious; grabbing this chance, they naturally wouldn't miss it.

These comments made those who supported Xu Fan feel a bit embarrassed.

However, even so, there were still some who spoke fairly on behalf of Xu Fan.

"This was an unfair duel from the start. Xu Fan is merely at the Entering Dao Realm, while the Li, Long, and Feng families sent dozens of Zhiwei Realm super experts to hold the fort; it was a certain-death situation, why should Xu Fan go? If it were you, how would you choose?"

"Exactly, Xu Fan at least could kill Li Hua at the peak of the Vajra Realm with the Entering Dao Realm peak. At least he's recognized as a supernova in the third place on the Earth List! Could you achieve that?"

Those speaking fairly for Xu Fan were Qin Fei, the beautiful instructor from the Grey Wolf Team, and Song Ling'er from the Elixir Pharmacy.

However, the voices of the two proved insignificant in the grand scheme of things and were quickly drowned out by the crowd.

"The third place on the Earth List turned out to be a coward! If this spreads, the people who put Xu Fan in the third place might turn pale with embarrassment!"

"In our base, who knows how many geniuses are hiding, but the Earth List ignores them! The so-called Earth List must have long lost credibility!"

The crowd speculated and set a tone for Xu Fan's incident, quickly putting it behind them.

The reason why Xu Fan's incident caused such an uproar, apart from the weight of his third place on the Earth List, also had to do with the unbelievable duel initiated by the Grey Wolf Team against the White Tiger Team, sparking widespread discussion.

Now that everyone had their own answers, there was no need to pay attention any longer.

Moreover, with the competition approaching, the proper thing to do was to seize the time and prepare diligently for the big match in a month.

However, right at this moment, a piece of news arrived, once again igniting the entire base.

"Xu Fan led the Grey Wolf Team to the appointment! Ignored the dozens of Zhiwei Realm experts from the Li, Long, and Feng families! Openly competed with Li Kun!"

The crowd hadn't recovered yet when a series of news came in one after another, completely dizzying everyone, making them unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

"The Grey Wolf Team defeated the White Tiger Team effortlessly! It is reported that all members of the Grey Wolf Team have reached the peak of the Entering Dao Realm! And everyone is equipped with a Third Rank divine weapon! Furthermore, all members of the Grey Wolf Team seem to have mastered a powerful combat skill!"

"Xu Fan fought a great battle with Li Kun, defeating him in one move! Li Kun was slammed into the ground, Xu Fan amazed everyone with his techniques!"

"Li Kun was unharmed, using the Fifth Rank divine weapon, the Wind-Calming Pearl, to restrain Xu Fan's speed!"

"Xu Fan struck again, shattering the Wind-Calming Pearl in a move! Punching through and defeating Li Kun, who was at the pinnacle of Vajra Realm! Li Kun was defeated!"

The successive news made everyone's head spin a little.

Just a moment ago, everyone was sneering at Xu Fan for being cowardly, thinking that Xu Fan was escaping for his life. But now, a series of news came like a slap in the face, hitting everyone hard, making them feel a fiery pain on their cheeks.

The Grey Wolf Team could defeat the White Tiger Team? And effortlessly? Since when can a bunch of sheep defeat a group of tigers?

Xu Fan, at the peak of the Entering Dao Realm, can slam Li Kun into the ground in one move? Can punch through and defeat Li Kun? Isn't a top-tier Vajra Realm expert supposed to be indestructible?

"It must be fake news! A bunch of shameless people! Deliberately selling fake news to attract attention and earn points!"

Soon, there were people angrily denouncing the authenticity of the news.

Yet, the sellers vouched for the authenticity of their information with their lives, claiming not a single word was false!

Now, everyone was stunned; many even repeatedly slapped themselves to find out if they were dreaming or in reality.
